The famous &#8220;Train to Hogwarts&#8221; from the Harry Potter movies is just an hour to the south with it&#8217;s majestic <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Glenfinnan_Viaduct\">Glenfinnan Viaduct<\/a>.

But there is also ferry service from Mallaig to Armadale on the southern tip of Skye. The island is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides. It has an area of 1656 square killometers (639 square miles) and population of about 10,000. That number is nearly doubled in the summer with tourist visits. The main town is Portree on the northeastern coast of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-555\" style=\"max-width: 480px; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-104-0 metaslider metaslider-responsive metaslider-555 ml-slider has-dots-nav ms-theme-default\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Getting to Skye\" data-height=\"360\" data-width=\"480\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_555\">\n        <ul id='metaslider_555' class='rslides'>\n            <li aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-0'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"275\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/skye_map.png\" class=\"slider-555 slide-573 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"Skye Map\" rel=\"\" title=\"Skye Map\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/skye_map.png 451w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/skye_map-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/skye_map-370x226.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/skye_map-270x165.png 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Skye Map<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n            <li style='display: none;' aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"807\" height=\"524\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct.png\" class=\"slider-555 slide-556 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"Glenfinnan Viaduct\" rel=\"\" title=\"Glenfinnan Viaduct\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct.png 807w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-768x499.png 768w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-370x240.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-270x175.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-570x370.png 570w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/glenfinnan_viaduct-740x480.png 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Glenfinnan Viaduct<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n            <li style='display: none;' aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge.png\" class=\"slider-555 slide-561 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"Skye Bridge - Human Geography\" rel=\"\" title=\"Skye Bridge\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge.png 649w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge-370x185.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge-270x135.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Skye-Bridge-570x285.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Skye Bridge<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n            <li style='display: none;' aria-roledescription='slide' aria-labelledby='slide-3'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644.png\" class=\"slider-555 slide-557 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"Mallaig Ferry\" rel=\"\" title=\"Mallaig Ferry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644.png 640w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644-370x171.png 370w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644-270x124.png 270w, https:\/\/maps4kids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_1644-570x263.png 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><div class=\"caption-wrap\"><div class=\"caption\">Mallaig Ferry<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather can be quite severe on the Isle of Skye. Cold weather, rain and high winds dominate for much of the year. In winter, there is often a dusting of snow to be found. But all of that is well worth it for the incredible physical features and geological history that makes the island so beautiful. Summer days rarely get above 60F (16C) and be ready for rain at just about any time. We visited last August and were lucky to encounter a glorious afternoon of sunshine and light breezes. The hills were lit up with heather of dog violet which gave everything a wonderful, purple look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Quirang and Old Man Storr: Geology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most amazing landscapes in the world can be found on the northeast corner of the Isle of Skye. The geography and geology of the Isle of Skye is well worth studying. This area is called the Trotternish peninsula and is home to a massive, ancient landslide. The features we see today are known as the Quirang and Old Man Storr. These formations were formed by a massive volcanic layer, some 1000ft (300m) thick. It lay on top of Jurassic era sedimentary rock. At some point the weight of the lava flows caused the massive slip or landslide. It exposed the underlying rock we see today. These formations of sheer cliffs and pinnacles are amazing to see. Go and hike around, but careful, the brittle rock makes them unsuitable for climbing.

Driving west from the parking area on the saddle at the Quirang, you move down to the coast through fields filled with sheep and large areas of heather. Skye&#8217;s weather makes it nearly impossible for any sizable trees to grow. Arriving at the Fairy Glen, we see that it is another landslip, but in miniature. It is a patchwork of round-topped hills and ponds. People have added circular stone gardens to add to the aura, and tails of faeries feature prominently in Scottish lore. Walking the trails among the many hills is a fascinating experience. The area receives far fewer tourists than the Quirang and Storr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-582\" style=\"max-width: 480px; margin: 0 auto;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-104-0 metaslider

One of them is round and offers absolutely stunning views of the River Snizort.
